Santa Maria Maior (Portuguese meaning Saint Mary the Great) is a civil parish in the eastern part of the municipality of Funchal on the island of Madeira.

It is located about 3 km east of the urban centre of Funchal, 4.5 km southwest Camacha and only 3 km west Caniço. The area is an urbanized section of the municipality of Funchal linked by ancillary roads to other sections of the island, as well as roadway that extends across the island. Until the mid-20th century, much of the interior of this parish was pasture and agricultural lands (central and western section), with denser forest in the northeast and northwest. The encroachment of urban housing, especially after the Carnation Revolution resulted in a transformation of this area into an ancillary bedroom community of Funchal.

The Property

This villa enjoys a unique location, as regards its proximity to the center of Funchal (3 minute drive) and its access to te motorway (1 minute drive).

It is a good example of the typical urban villas that were common in this area, and has been renovated to add modern comforts, while retaining many 'older' elements that add character to the property.

The location provides a sea view, and the gardens are well kept and easily managed.

A well-used and functional barbecue makes this garden area even more a part of day-to-day living.
